The Book List
Doing your own research and your own reading from world leading authors and researching is the single MOST important step in a truly sustainable holistic healthy life.
​
Journal articles are your first stop for the cutting edge science.
​
Next stop is the beautiful world of books.
​
If like me you adore books, you'll adore libraries- and they're your absolute life line for picking up and reading books on sustainability whilst being sustainable (and minimalist!)
​
So here is my own list of must read books!
Wild- Cheryl Strayed
You'd be right, if you were thinking that Wild isn't exactly a "sustainable bible". But, is it an utterly inspiring, empowering read that I thoroughly recommend. It does also have some pretty amazing minimalist lessons to be had.

The Omnivores Dilemma-
Michael Pollan
​
A U.S. centric book, that brings up some very important ideas about food sustainability. A good introduction, but one that I struggled a bit with. I do recommend for readers not aware of some of the big environmental issues with food!

Confessions of an Eco Sinner- Fred Pearce
One of the most holistically thinking, well rounded and down to earth eco-books out there. Super mind opening, thought provoking and not straight forward, an absolute MUST read for those going into sustainability. Will give you a summary on why it's extremely important to think of a the whole picture.
Big Magic- Creative Living Beyond Fear
Elizabeth Gilbert
Sustainable and eco-friendly living is certainly a creative life. If you're wanting some inspiration for taking the path less trodden and making your life how you want it- read this book.
